3 The heritability of a behavioral trait may range from a very high value ( when it
is usually described as instinctive behavior ) to a very low value ( when it is called
learned ) . Should we then expect the capacity to learn to vary in any systematic ...

It is important to recognize that the selection guiding cultural change is of the
traits themselves , not of the individuals ... In genetic evolution a trait changes
simply as the relative numbers of individuals with one or another genotype are
altered .

Genetics provides no means of investigating the inheritance of an invariant trait .
Thus to postulate that it is genetic is to pose an untestable and meaningless
hypothesis . The only question one can legitimately ask is , Is the trait highly ...
